Package org.cytoscape.group Description

This package provides an API for creating and managing groups in Cytoscape. A CyGroup is a collection of nodes and associated edges represented by a node in a network. It is stored internally as a network and a list of external edges (edges that connect from nodes within the group to nodes outside of the group. Groups may contain nodes which represent groups, which allows for the creation of explicit hierarchies of groups. To create a group, use one of the CyGroupFactory methods. A CyGroupManager service is provided that tracks which groups apply in which networks and which CyNodes actually represent CyGroups.
